No luck on Ebay. Retro Bikes has em for the CL77 and CB77. Does anyone know what the differences are compared to the CA77?

Thanks,

You are right, there are now 2 on ebay. I did not see any a few days ago. Man are they expensive. The ones from retro bikes are only about $20. I know they are not NOS, but I am not riding a show piece, so I don't care.

Hopefully someone know if the one of the others will work.

The CB72/77 and CL72/77 will not fit a Dream.The end that screws into the speedo has male threads on the Dream and female threads on the CB/CL models.

I got my CA77 speedo cable from RetroBikes. http://www.olypen.com/retro/ The price is reasonable and the service was excellent.

Speedo cable

I Imagine there must be some way to modify the cable (knowing me likely duct tape) to make the cable fit a CA77. I Ordered a CB72/77 from retro bikes to find out, I'll post the results in a few days.

Update: Got the CB72/77 cable today and just as Buck said the part that plugs into the speedo is female threaded and the dream is expecting male threading, however the other 90% of the cable fits perfectly. Ive driven 100 or so mile with the cable duct taped in place with no problems. Later i may RTV it into place for a little more permanent solution.
